MACCO showcases young East Tennessee virtuosos in March 10 concert

The Maryville College Community Orchestra (MACCO) will stage
a spring concert on Monday, March 10, 7:30 p.m., in Wilson Chapel
on the college campus. The concert will showcase nine soloists – four
MC students and five musicians from East Tennessee.

Tickets are available at the door, $10 for adults, $7.50 for
seniors, free for students and anyone with a Maryville College
ID (faculty, staff, and students).

The program includes selections by Rachmaninoff, Grieg, Haydn,
Delibes, Saint-Saens, and Mozart.

Two local high school students, Brad Colquitt, a senior at Maryville
High, and Jesse Meiers, a Heritage High School senior, will solo
on piano and trumpet, respectively. MC voice students Sarah Stutzman,
Jesse Neace, Tiffany Sasser and Katie Wagner are also featured
in the program.

Pianists Janna Nordberg and Malcolm Matthews of Knoxville are
scheduled to perform, as well as pianist Jenna DeLisle of Parrottsville,
Tenn.

Lee Kull, conductor and music director of MACCO, says the spring
concert is designed to showcase the talents of both the soloists
and the orchestra. The students get the chance to work with seasoned
musicians, and the orchestra has the experience of accompanying
solo performers. When asked about the abilities of the soloists,
Kull said: “They are brilliant.”

All local performers were invited to audition. Those musicians
not chosen for the concert will perform in a recital later this
spring.
